Preliminary design of a management maintenance model of sensitive engineering assets, for a ship under the concept of reliability engineering

Abstract

The objective of this research is to apply a dynamic maintenance model to the assets of the engineering department of a navy vessel, based on the concept of reliability engineering, which analyzes the statistics of failures of different equipment, in a period of 140 months, in order to determine which is the most sensible equipment, the failure modes and the impact it produces on the ship’s platform. This way, it is possible to focus on the problems that produce the biggest impact in the capacity of the Unit´s, in order to fulfill its roles, and this way, contribute increase its availability. This is an iterative process of continuous improvement for the maintenance plans.
